Eric Church is set to launch his 22-date “Free The Machine Tour” on Sept. 12. Church will be joined across varying dates by special guests Elle King, Marcus King Band and Charles Wesley Godwin. The tour will kick off in Pittsburgh and visit Boston, Lexington, Sacramento and more before wrapping on Nov. 15.

“From front to back, these shows will be different than anything you’ve ever seen or heard from us before,” shares Church in a video message sent directly to Church Choir members. “I cannot wait to see you on the road for this tour.”

Tickets to most shows are available to the general public beginning next Friday (May 9) at 10 a.m. local time, with the Philadelphia date on sale May 16. Fan club pre-sale begins May 5 at 10 a.m. local time. In an effort to protect fans from scalpers, Church is reserving all pit tickets on the “Free the Machine Tour” for premium Church Choir members. Pit tickets will be will-call only to deter resale.

The announcement comes just before the release of Church’s highly anticipated record, Evangeline vs. The Machine, which is available Friday (May 2).

Church will also bring the new music and his esteemed catalog to life onstage later this spring and summer with a run of high-profile shows, kicking off with two “To Beat The Devil” residency shows at London’s Royal Albert Hall on May 16-17 before a sold-out, two-night takeover of Nashville’s The Pinnacle May 23–24 for “Evangeline vs. The Machine Live.” In July, he heads west to Colorado’s iconic Red Rocks Amphitheatre, where fans can expect a unique set each evening across three sold-out shows: “Eric Church vs. The Machine,” “Eric Church vs. The ECB” and “Eric Church vs. The Guitar.”
